lyrics

In a classic testosterone confusion
When all negotiations fail
You can hear this call for a revolution
In the black mood of the heyday male
It's the power of a grand illusion
The old-time heroic tale
This call for a revolution
In the black mood of the heyday male

Again and again we reach for the gun
When the icing on the cake is thin
When the mental scurvy is kicking in
We need to take some vitamins
We need some kind of healing power
Why not let it be feminine
When the mental scurvy is kicking in
We'd better take some vitamins

Let bygones be bygones
We need a resolution
55 Founding Mothers
To draw up a constitution
Pick up the slate and wipe it clean
Leave matters to 55 queens

Wipe the slate
Unite the states
Wipe it clean and make way for 55 queens

In an ancient abduction case
It's a well documented fact
Europa was carried off by Zeus
Now is the time to bring her back
With one of them male chauvinist Gods
It's just what you can expect
Europa carried off by Zeus
Now's the time to bring her back

about

Diftong The Netherlands

Welcome to Diftong’s heartfelt songs!

In 2022, after six albums with poetic songs on the edges of rock, country and folk, I decided the time was right to start something completely different: writing songs in Dutch. These Dutch songs will be released as single tracks and are accompanied by a blog (BOSGOD).

I sure hope that you enjoy my music and lyrics. Thanks for listening!
